Ice Cube Trays

[cmoore2cats]

I make a lot of paper flowers, little ones, and I have lots of teensy bits. My friend suggested I use ice cube trays. Voila! Problem solved. I can stack 4 trays in one drawer in my Iris cart. I also use large screw-off lids for larger die cut leaves. Works for me.

Clever girl... ;)

That is a great tip! Thanks for sharing. I use the plastic containers my grandsons' baby food comes in, they are small but hold a lot of small bits.

Word of caution - for one of my inchie classes I used ice cube trays to store all the embellishments and one of the trays was dropped. OMG - we had charms everywhere. Perhaps you can come up with some sort of cover just in case. : )

It's not a "permanent" solution, but maybe that Glad Press 'n Seal plastic wrap could cover the trays and stick to the sides so nothing escapes...?

Looks like a great idea for those using ice trays. :p

The expensive organic eggs in my local supermarket come in a clear plastic egg carton. that has 3 sections that flip & fold: 2 portions hold the eggs in place and one holds the whole combination together. You would not be able to stack as many on top of one another but it would be secure and see through so you knew what was in each.

What about empty pill bottles! We were just discussing uses for them in another thread.
